I swore I'd never get into VHS again but after getting a good deal on a decent deck and watching the old tapes I had I really enjoyed the picture and HiFi stereo sound. So I started building a small collection of Japanese music stuff..Also I've started becoming more aware of VHS exclusive content. Stuff like the Minako Honda (of which I'm a huge fan, 4th tape from right) in L.A. is great because it's not available on any other format.

I'll post my collection when I get it out of storage. If I can find Mortal Thoughts that I have on Video 8 I'll include it and maybe some betas also. DVHS will be shown I hope but I might have misplaced my Alien and HD Video demo DVHS copies.

I got a thing and nostalgia for '80s and '90s girls in general. Singers like Minako Honda and Youki Kudoh have got a real "ugly cute" thing I can't get over..Super models have always been boring to me..

Akina Nakamori I just have there for the songs, not my type, Hinano Yoshikawa, just for the looks and the memories..

Musicvideos Little Earthquakes - Tori AmosVideo's of Talk Talk*Some docus about artists and musiciansA few local documentaries of Public Transport in Rotterdam.I'd like to find the "Howard Jones in Japan" VHS one day.

I have these titles as they can (or could at the time) only be found on this format, Betamax or V2000, but otherwise i would search for the laserdisc, dvd, or bluray any day. (*Talk Talk is available on a CD + DVD since .. years)Other genres like Movies are of no interest at all to me as i would download or rent those and in better quality than VHS.In the 90's i and my brother rented videos in the weekends and watched those on a 14" mono CRT.That 'nostalgia' of VHS can stay in the 90's imho.

I've got a S-VHS recorder of JVC that i only use to capture material from art school from the 90's and some things i come across.And D8 and MiniDV Camcorder for capturing those formats incl. Video8 and Hi8.U Matic SP tapes i have i don't have a recorder for but taped over those to S-VHS or VHS back then.

The handful of S-VHS and W-VHS releases could be nice to collect as the format though, D theater D-VHS to some extent.
